Daughter's Liver Donation Saves Mother's Life in Historic Transplant
A North Carolina woman suffering from non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver for over eight years received a new liver from her daughter in a living donor transplant, the first of its kind at the University of North Carolina hospitals in 20 years. The daughter used a kit she found online to verify that they would be a match and said she did it for all the future moments, like her wedding and having kids. The family is now focused on Meredith's new quality of life and a stronger bond.
